I make myself a cup of pour over in the morning, drink 2/3rds of it, then later in the day I pour hot water over the old grounds into the remaining cold coffee as a bit of a pick me up. Does anyone else do this?

tfw beans

How bad are these? I drink coffee for caffeine only and am too lazy and poor to go through an elaborate process to make coffee or get an expensive machine but even with my unrefined taste buds I can tell instant coffee is horrible and I got tired of drinking it.

I just want decent coffee, nothing amazing.

>>18927623
drip machine are fine just get one that isn't a piece of shit.

>>18927623
>How bad are these
the main problem with cheap ones is they do not get hot enough to properly extract coffee and they do not sufficiently distribute water across the coffee bed, leading to uneven extraction.

if you spend more upfront, youll get much better results, consistently: https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer

I'm almost out of the sidra:( Makes me want to work on my v2 roaster and start buying way dumber greens.

any good roasters that focus on honey processed beans?

>>18927623
Bad. I bought one of these because muh Dieter Rams but it was legitimately some of the worst drip coffee I've ever had. Like burnt popcorn tasting bad.

>>18927547
Do you think that little stain on her thigh is jizz?

>>18927951
I liked Intelligentsia’s Analog espresso, it’s from Brazil and uses the honey process. I’ve only tried this and their classic espresso so I can’t vouch for the rest.

What are the chances that the whole bean coffee I buy at a Starbucks location will be somewhat fresh? I know they don't use roast dates. Figured making my own coffee might be the best way of using a Starbucks gift card someone gave me but if it's just gonna end up being stale not sure if I should bother.

>>18928173
I didn't realize intelligentsia still did specialty roasts. Target started selling their beans and I just assumed it was all over.

anon who fucked up his grinder with compressed air here

I ended up cleaning it out with some grain alcohol, but the coffee has a bitter aftertaste still.

>>18928244
maybe just buy some shitty bulk beans and run a few pounds through

Worth traveling with my coffee set up? I'm considering it but it would add a non-insignificant amount of weight to my pack.

>>18928553
I let you down I'm sorry

Today I forgot to stir my french press after putting the water in it so when I came back it was super weak and all the grounds were floating on top. Anyway I stirred that shit right up and then waited two minutes, plunged and poured. After using the Hoffster's method for so long I had forgotten how creamy and luxurious a real full bodied fines-not-settled-out cup of frenchpresso is.

>>18927586
gotta wonder how much of that graphic design youre paying for rather than paying for the beans.

>>18928910
I can't remember what he does extra other than sort the fines out on a paper towel and skim off the crema. I just give the entire press one spin at this point and everything drops no problem.

>>18929686
They are v e r y well machined and aligned for $200. 1zpresso knocking off kinu is what established them in the grinder game. The je used the exact same italmill burr as the kinus do, now the jxs use chinese made clones.

What's stopping them from putting heptacore burr in a C2 body and selling them for $75 or so?

>>18927623
Just get a French press, not expensive and takes up less room. Ended up donating my drip machine

>>18927623
Go with the press >>18930333. You have to buy filters for the drip machine, and clean it, and hope it doesn't burn your coffee under the pot. Drip machines are very simple, but a press is even more streamlined.

Guys is there anything that can done with used pucks? I look at the contents of my knockbox and feel sad throwing away something I spent so much money on.
Surely there has to be a way to rebrew a puck right?

>>18930370
If you garden, you can compost them.

I've also heard of people putting them in thin cloth bags or socks and using them to deoderize stuff

What is this shit? How dare they charge so much for a machine that works only once?

>>18929959
Try adjusting your grind size first. You’re dealing with an organic product so being from the same country of origin means squat. It might also be roasted differently which also benefits from a different grind.

>>18930906
>lavazza
there's your problem

Do you change grind size for pourover between light and dark roast? I usually drink light and I bought a bag of dark and just wondering.

>>18928215
Buy Peet's instead - all of their coffee has roast date on the label. And if you buy their coffee mail order it will always be shipped a few days after roasting.

I wanna talk about dirty chai lattes. Do i belong here or in /tea/?

>>18931239
Go ask tea if it's coffee or tea. They love that question.

>>18931261
Okay brb

why would a tea drink be coffee?

>>18931274
Because it has coffee in it

forgive me i thought dirty chai just added extra spices

>>18931285
Maybe it means different things in different places. I discovered it when I was at some hipster cafe and I couldnt decide between chai latte and coffee. The cute blonde barista then told me about dirty chais, and Ive loved them ever since. She made a little froth heart in the drink <3

You will never convince me that a motor and two pieces of metal in a box costs anywhere near what the X670E Motherboard I just bought costs to make. And before some engineer larper comes in to call me ignorant and show me their pristine piss jet of god cut burr know that I don't care. I came to pay the moron tax anyway. Minus the motor tax.

I need something that lasts, will do expresso with a regular filter and still allows me to take out the press once in a while and for as little money as possible
Been looking at the K6 But being euro I would have to import one from the US at 110-120€ to avoid paying 150€ for it. Can any euros recommend something ?
I would also like something a bit higher capacity maybe because I tend to have people over. Not a priority tho.

>>18931307
>expresso with a regular filter
I was willing to help up until this. Good luck eurotard.

All cafes should soy and almond milk available. Most of the world can't digest milk, get your shit together.

One time I had a job and went to a nearby cafe before that started because I had time to wait but not enough to do anything else, and they didn't have milk options, so I brought soy milk and asked them to use it. They did and only charged me for the coffee.

>>18931354
Fuck you're gay

>>18931340
What now. Maybe there is a misunderstanding What I call a regular filter is the regular kind of portafilter aka the one with many holes. The stores have been trying to push me to buy a bodum plastic piece of shit "grinder" and a machine fitted with a pressurized filter that had a single hole underneath it and told me it was just as good. Tasted like foamy garbage but that's probably the dogshit grinder's (and coffee) fault. What's wrong with wanting a regular expresso machine ?

>>18931354
>Most of the world can't digest milk
Most of the world CAN digest milk. You're just a gullible vegan soyboy cuck fuck

>>18931359
>a regular filter is the regular kind of portafilter aka the one with many holes
Yeah, thats an unpressurized basket pal. You can stick one of those in a spouted portafilter(the handle that holds a basket), or a bottomless one. Espresso "filters" are something completely different. Do some more homework.

>>18931373
In my country we call the baskets filters and Portas interchangeably. No one calls them baskets. What you call filters are called paper filters. That's how how we make the distinction . I think this is just a case of ESL. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

>>18931399
Just a case of ignorance pal. Now do some reading on economies of scale and see if you can't figure out why asus is in the hardware business, not the grinder business.

My concern with these cheap machines is not that they are complete garbage, which goes with the territory, it's that it's mystery meat plastic made in China that you are using daily to brew 99C coffee in 350-500ml amounts every morning

Generic reddit advice that's useless to anyone that doesn't have a garden.

I've started experimenting with my french press. I throw 3-4 used espresso pucks in it and brew it with 0.5/0.6L of water. Turns out ok honestly, a cup of hot coffee-esque drink to sip on through the afternoon.

Cold brew takes too long. Anyone has a recipe for iced french press (I only have a frech press) brew similar to that iced pour over coffee recipe? Is it as simple as just dumping ice cubes to hot coffee?

>>18933305
Adding ice will normally dilute your coffee, I'd add about 1/3 less hot water and then pour your coffee over that much ice once brewed

Probably at first. Boil vinegar through it a couple of times and then plain water a couple of times to remove off flavors, but your first few uses might be failures even without those.

Looking for a Hario Switch but they're so fucking expensive. Do you guys think this Aliexpress one will do the trick? It might be the same thing made in the same factory without Hario branding... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004750395979.html

>>18936211
It's quite tasty. I wouldn't use the lemon juice but I've made something similar with tonic water and a brief squeeze of lemon or orange juice (with the oils expressed on top and around the rim too).

>>18936492
What is a Hario Switch anyway? Is it a pourover cone with a valve so you can slow down the drip rate?

>>18936504
Yeah it has a valve that you can adjust. Slow the drip rate or just stop it from dripping entirely so you can treat it like an immersion brewer if you want.

>>18936504
Its just v60 with a little toggle lever. Moves a ball bearing into the exit so it completely stops the flow when/if you want. Its not a variable valve like on the goatstory gina.

>>18936492
>https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004750395979.html
>The measurement allowed error is +/- 1-3cm.

I'd imagine it would be an alright copy but that manufactures note makes me think the glass would be inconsistent. Based off the pictures it looks a little thinner than a switch and the part that connects it to the rubber is different. I think I spent $60 on the switch set and have not felt like it was money wasted.

>>18936562
Nice catch. I think I'll just swallow the cost of a Hario then. It's pretty pricey in Australia sadly

>>18936573
> It might be the same thing made in the same factory without Hario branding
Its not. The glass is made in their jap factory like the normal glass v60. The mechanism is easy enough to knock off, but the glass is certainly different. Its hario's cheaper servers and cups and shit that are outsourced to china.

Hario is a 100+ year old lab beaker manufacturer who happened to strike it big in the home goods market in the 50s since they were the only factory in japan who could make siphon brewers. Also why they don't give two fucks about putting out a good grinder. They're a glass fab, not a coffee company. They make headlights and shit too.

Why would anyone want to ruin perfectly good milk with hyperlight Kenya espresso?

>>18935194
Yeah, that's how underroasted Kenyas usually taste. They have no idea what they're doing. The tomato flavor develops into citrus flavors when you hit a city or slightly darker. They're supposed to have orange, grapefruit, cranberry, or grape flavors. Stop giving those dingdongs money. Not every coffee is supposed to be a cinnamon roast.

big fan of egg coffee, i lived in hanoi just around the corner from the places that invented it and would have one daily while writing in my journal and smoking tobacco out of bamboo bongs

also had the italian coffee/ice cream one and irish coffee, both were v tasty

the kopi luwak is overrated imo and apparently they treat the marmots pretty bad, it's like foie gras. the fake stuff (treated with acid to mimic the digestive process) tastes the same, still not very good

cafe bombon sounds like ca phe sua da which is my shit. i'm not willing to spend $30 for a pound of coffee like you fags so i'm more than happy to drip-feed my robusta through a vietnamese ca phe phin filter over some condensed milk and drink that shit on ice

FUCK I MISS VIETNAM

>>18936134
Turkish is common here, although we make bigger doses than turks do (in terms of water used, not in terms of coffee used, so they're weaker but bigger cups).
Out of everything they could have chosen for Italy they go with affogato.
And kopi luwak doesn't really fit because it's not a preparation method but a type of fermentation.

>>18935890

You dropped this, king.

>Costa have put ads up around my city saying they're gonna roast their beans longer for a more "intense" flavour
Weirdest ad campaign I've ever seen

Is coffee supposed to be sour and am I just making myself overly-bitter coffee? Every time I've ordered either a filter coffee or an espresso outside in a cafe/restaurant, it's been quite sour compared to what I make myself at home in my Aeropress. Not sure if I've been doing it wrong or whether I just happened to get served bad coffee every time I haven't ordered a milk drink.

>>18937179
Depends on the beans and the roast, but yes coffee can be sour/fruity. It's more of a preference thing

>>18936134
I had some coffee in a Vietnamese restaurant that was served with condensed milk, like that Spanish coffee. It was served with the small metal drip filter on the cup and it was pretty nice.

>>18937179
People generally use "acidic" to convey a pleasant sourness, and "sour" to mean a harsher unpleasant sourness. Acidic coffee is valued quite highly by some people, but it's a preference thing.
Unpleasant sourness usually comes from underextracting coffee, whereas excessive bitterness comes from overextraction. You can have coffee that has neither of these really and is just sort of sweet.

>>18937179
There are different acids and quality of sourness. Acetic acid is generally garbage because it feels like drinking hot vinegar. Something like malic acid is nice and what I describe in making a “crisp” cup, that give it a light tang to it like a green apple and pair well with fruity notes, just feels tasty and light. I don’t remember all the shit, but probably learned about it in a hoffmeme video. Generally lighter roast can be more acidic. Does it kind of fuck your throat too with the after taste? Sourness/bitterness can also result from fucking up the brew. Then again, some folks I know just can’t tolerate any sourness period, it’s all preferences.

also any k6 chads, what setting do you use for the press

what gizmo should I buy that rapidly cools coffee to make iced coffee

>>18937374
I use like 80-100 clicks.

>sister works at starcucks
>gets a free bag of coffee once a week
>its just watery shit

starcucks is so bad jesus christ and a cup of that shit costs £4

>>18937459
A freezer

>>18937459
A rubber hose and an ice bath. You can probably pay some absurd amount for the same thing except with glassware instead of the hose.

>>18937469
water in a bag?

>>18937189
Is overextraction the same as increasing the ratio?

>>18937310
cool

>>18937531
No, although ratio can effect it a bit.
Extraction depends primarily on these factors:
>temperature (higher temp = higher extraction)
>how darkly roasted the beans are (darker = higher extraction)
>time (longer = higher extraction)
>grind size (finer = higher extraction)
To a lesser extent it's also effected by the amount of water used, if you use little water it's not going to extract as much, but if you use enough water it extracts more. But that's probably not a factor in most cases unless you're brewing with like an aeropress using the original recipe for it (which has very little water)

>>18937459
I used a stainless steel cocktail shaker inside a bigger glass of ice water and it worked ok bros

>>18937179
unless it's a top tier coffee shop, chances are you make better coffee than they do if you've got your aeropress process dialed in

>>18937459
whiskey rocks or frozen stainless cubes I guess if you don't want bypass. I like the ice bypass method (1/3 of total water mass as ice in the carafe). your ice just needs to be fresh ice made from good water so it doesnt make your coffee taste bad.

>>18927547
What do you think about peculator coffee?

>>18937774
>peculator coffee
coffee grounds getting "filtered" through a metal basket with huge holes, being extracted by the liquid coffee that is reboiled and poured back over the coffee bed. unevenly extracted & generally silty texture. i'd drink it over keurig with lots of cream and sugar but that's about it

>>18937774
i like it for packpacking because i dont like pour over and i need to carry a pot anyway. but if you cant tolerate a lot of grinds in your cup its not for you.

>>18937774
It produces a much more robust coffee than other coffee makers and it goes well with darker beans with higher acidity. If you got a weak stomach though the coffee grinds are gonna make you shit yourself.

>>18937774
I don't.

>>18938070
you don't think? Wow. I didn't know jellyfish browsed 4chan.

Or drank coffee

Why would you leave the water you rinse your filter with in the carafe? I was at a cafe and saw them doing pour overs and they rinsed the filter with some hot water and left it in the carafe, added the beans then started the pour over. The owner was defending this in the google reviews so it's on purpose. Why?

Is grinding yourself really such a huge upgrade or do people just say that because coffee that's preground is bad coffee? Like, if I ask a local roaster to grind 100 g for me each week and store it airtight between uses, how big is the difference? I'm not dialing in espresso here.

>>18938414
Yes a large problem with preground is that it's usually shit grocery store coffee. Preground good coffee is better, obviously. But it's still gonna go stale much much faster than beans, no matter how you store it.

>>18938374
Owner is a dipshit. Wagies don't care.
>>18938414
Both.

>>18938414
>not dialing in espresso
what are you dialing in? I don't get how a store would be able to perfectly get the right size when just two pour overs require different size grounds. or do you change everything else to fit? seems like more work

>>18938449
>Owner is a dipshit
You'd think the proof would be in the pudding. If his special method were so great people wouldn't be complaining about it.
Also it has nothing to do with the 'wagies' they aren't allowed to alter the process taught to them by the owner I am sure.

1:10 ratio on a french press is pretty gud

>>18938423
Mmm... True... preground isn't fresh enough.
Try these unstale delights. Best coffee ever. So sooth and aromatic. You can smell the sweat of South American farmers, such a delectable palate note. Mmm...

>>18938414
Old ground but properly done > fresh ground with shit ceramic grinder. If you have not invested or don't want to invest in good grinder (and by good, I mean adequate as little as a C2), I think preground is fine.

>>18928476
Can't you run water through it or disassemble it?
Also why the fuck would anyone pay so much for a grinder without a motor

>>18933810

>>18938414
I never managed to make espresso as good as the stuff in the red Illy cans, even with meme espresso roast and a burr grinder

>found out today I was preheating my v60 wrong
>try it today, don't change anything else
>cup is way better

>>18938374
That's an example of voodoo practice. People build up these ritualistic procedures that they do not understand. It makes it easy to miss the point, or the original point becomes lost in the ritual. You see it in a lot of things.

>>18939345
>>18939410
>>18939417

>>18938945
Disagree. Fresh coffee freshly ground in a damn blade grinder is better than old, stale coffee ground by the best grinder in the world. Three days. At most. Preground coffee is trash.

I can't wait to drink this guji allona I roasted on the 5th. Next month.

>>18939467
based. someone who knows how to goffee.

>>18938945
Why would ceramic be bad? It can be made quite sharp and it doesn't dull as fast as steel would. If ceramic is inferior it's only because they are not making it as carefully.

>>18939467
Getting it nice and stale. Delicious!

>>18939680
Ideally you want a well designed and manufactured set of burrs, not the cheap shit Kyocera sells to jam into randomly branded peppermills. There's a big difference between Hario minis and la marzocco swifts.

I recently tried out Peet's Major DICK in son, and it was delicious. Them beans look juicy as af

>>18939688
It's the only way I can make it taste better than illy from the red can.

>>18939410
I lack of crema is the issue, try a blend with some robusta.

Just got some new beans, what do I think of them?

>>18940086
Overswirled, overroasted, underrested, with a lack of crema.

>>18939417
How is it even possible to heat something incorrectly

>>18939680
Ceramic burrs are too lightweight and aren't held as firmly in the housing compared to steel. I've literally never seen a ceramic grinder that can produce a consistent grind.

>>18940126
Baratza vario. Uses 54mm ditting ceramic flats.
> too lightweight and aren't held as firmly in the housing compared to steel
What in the fuck are you talking about?

>sift coffee grounds
>now have a bunch of unusable ground coffee
What to do in this situation?

>>18940149
Exfoliate. Make a scrub.

>>18940103
I found a way

>>18938347
Holy fucking shit I was actually kinda thinking about trying one of these - that fucking micro-adjustment is hilariously showstopping

>>18938347
Jesus christ this review is a shitshow.

>>18940214
That micro-adjustment should never ever have made it out of a design meeting. They do realise people actually intend to USE their products, not masturbate on them, right?

>>18938347
Is it an upgrade from my k6?

>>18940222
It is if you bought your K6 in the hopes that it would convince you to kill yourself. Also checked.

>>18940184
>>18940214
>>18940221
Its going to sell like hotcakes to the bozos who
>need
an electric grinder. For everyone else who wants good coffee its dead in the water.
>>18940222
Not a chance.

>>18940221
I don't think it's anywhere as confusing as he's making it sound. You have major increments and then you can make small adjustments and if you're super-autistic you can exploit the fact that the offsets don't line up. It's really pretty simple.

It just sounds awful because the guy sits there like
>now it's plus 40 but backwards so minus two thirds which is plus six and minus eight but double five eights in reverse
making it as hard as it could possibly be. Guy just cannot communicate and expects us to blame the grinder.

>>18940276
Even so, you're offsetting the burr with the interior adjustment but then again still only have the coarse gaps on the outside wheel to try and fine tune a shot. Going in and out of the hopper to dial espresso every time you try a new bag would make me an hero

rate my burr.

>>18940276
Opus has ~40 micron steps. Comandante has 30micron steps, 15 with redclix. Kinu has 10 micron ticks, but its stepless so you can go inbetween steps. JMax has 8.8 micron steps. This just isn't a good product comparatively. You're paying out the ass for that destatic ionizer and the fellow plastic housing. The ode was cool because it opened up 64mm flats in the home market and people didn't have to chase down used superjollys anymore.

>>18940300
>destatic ionizer
do they not ground them?

Also new JX S is out now, with the stupid fucking K-ultra handle.

>>18940310
when i was buying my q2 they had the option to pay extra for this handle and i thought it was weird as fuck, how could this possibly be more comfortable so as to be considered an upgrade over the standard one

>>18940341
They've got legal troubles after ripping off comandante's lid+handle design. Changing the handle is their way around it.

>>18939417
>put v60 in sink or on plate
>pour water inside
Simple as.

I get grocery store ground coffee and prepare it using a simple stovetop coffeemaker, and drink it mainly for practical purposes. I am the anthitesis of a coffee connoisseur.

>>18940594
No that's pod people. You're not far off though. If you just want it for "practical purposes" then just take caffeine pills.

>>18940594
This, and I put in way too much creamer.

A big french press.

>>18940684
the best method for lots of coffee is a big ass percolator but you can get by with big mister coffee and an urn

prepare a huge batch of cold brew and then microwave them as needed

Coming soon to a k6 near you.

Anyone like that watered down left over bit after a brew? It's mellow like tea but without that drying filmy taste.

look at that girl lol, "hey look at me! im drinking something men discovered!! im strong female!"

New to coffee so bear with me. I see everyone talking about pourover and they only seem to talk about the V60. Why is that ? Hasn't the Melitta been a common sight for many people across generations ? So much so that the Melitta filter is basically the default drip machine filter in many parts of the world. Why do coffee enthusiasts just shun the of grandma pourover ?

>>18942478
Melittas have a way slower flow rate. Only lends itself well to low temp long drawdown dark roasts.

Just ordered this, I’m looking forward to it c:

>>18942210
first te seeing a woman huh

>>18942210
Meds

Decided to buy a bag of Starbucks Blonde Espresso with a gift card a friend gave me and was pleasantly surprised. Decent amount of crema and not harshly bitter like I was anticipating given Starbucks is notorious for bombing their roasts. Was sweet and slightly acidic. On par with some medium roasts I've gotten from local roasters.

I am going full circle and getting a drip machine as my daily driver. It just feels wrong to be making multiple pour overs everyday.

>>18942859
Get a ratio 6 or 8 and let the machine brew with your dripper of choice.
